Fundraiser with flair supports youth INSIDE SOCIETY SARAH TINDALL Charity League of Corpus Christi, with lun- cheon chairs Jordan An- derson and Sara Smith, hosted a gorgeous lun- cheon and style show February 16 at the American Bank Cen- ter. The fashions of CAMILLA lit up the runway with the beautiful caftans, swimwear, evening wear and daywear of “Chinese Whispers,” the fashion house’s Spring/ Summer 2017 collection inspired by the traditional artisans of China and Tibet. League President Sherry Rumley and the executive officers, Lesleigh Landreth, vice president; Meredith Ryan, recording secretary; Michelle Ezell, corresponding secretary; Wendy Moore, treasurer; Laurel Crawford, welfare chairman; and Dana Madry, parliamentarian, organized a fantastic year of fundraising for local charity Youth Odyssey. The final tally an- nounced at the luncheon was $259,505 raised for the organization’s new ropes course outdoor area. “CCISD reports that youth who at- tend our programs have decreased dis- ciplinary action, increased attendance, increased grades, increased testing scores, and healthier lifestyles,” Becky Meyer, executive director of Youth Od- yssey, explained to the guests during the presentation. I was delighted to be the guest of Meredith Ryan and enjoyed catching up with Jill Jacobs and Catherine Suss- er who were also seated at her table, which was decorated in typical fabu- lous Charity League style with a lan- tern, Saltillo tiles, and lace to fit this year’s theme, Bienvenidos a San Mi- guel.
